Gonna make a hot take here and say Franz replaces Bron on All NBA 3rd Team next year after Lebron makes a near finals run and is running out of gas
Not sure what other people are thinking but I personally think Franz is the most talented player on the Magic by a reasonable margin and is gonna take an even bigger step next season

Some stats to show my way of thinking:
2nd year Dirk – 17.5 PPG 6.5 RPG 2.5 APG 0.8 STL 0.8 BLK
Mavs record 40-42 (9th seed)
2nd year Franz – 18.6 PPG 4.1 RPG 3.5 APG 1.0 STL 0.2 BLK
Magic record 34-48 (13th seed)
*3rd year Dirk – 21.8 PPG 9.2 RPG 2.1 APG 1.0 STL 1.2 BLK
Mavs record 53-29 (5th seed)
*ALL NBA 3rd Team
If 3rd year Franz can get to around –
23.5 PPG 7 RPG 5 APG 1.5 STL 0.8 BLK
Magic have a solid record and are around 5th-6th seed
I think he has a good shot, but again it would have to be a very large jump. I think he has the talent to do it
